| 98932 |  | Woods Ave path at crossing of Sycamore Ave. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98931 |  | Woods Ave new cycle route showing crossing of Chantry Lane. This really should be a raise crossing over the entry to this cul-de-sac road. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98929 |  | Woods Ave looking west up the new cycle route completed May 2018. Shows the initial section which splits round the trees | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 31742 |  | Welwyn Hatfield Cycling Forum family bike ride along NCN57 (Ayot Greenway) about to depart on Sunday 10th July 2011. Photo is at the start of the route, just behind Roller City, Campus West, Welwyn Garden City. | Other: Good practice general |
| 46098 |  | Welwyn Garden City station - the lifts are too small, as at Cambridge. | Other: Problem general |
| 45254 |  | Wellfield Road cycle path looking west. Access to Alban Way NCN61 on bridge via ramp to left. View on Alban Way in #74065. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 28769 |  | View of the cycle path to north side of French Horn Lane. After the subway ahead it goes north to the rail station. NCN12 is on the road on the right, unable to use the cycle path due to a further lower subway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 45253 |  | View of new cycle path west along Wellfield Road | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 31745 |  | View from the bridge on NCN12 | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74183 |  | Unsigned junction at Mundells, Welwyn Garden City loking north: Turn left to continue on the cycleway on Bessemer Road. Straight ahead is a route off the road for southbound cyclists and is a dead end if followed north as in the picture. Better signs needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 62848 |  | Toucan crossing where Woods Ave cycle path west side starts | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 62840 |  | Toucan crossing of Queensway | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 42126 |  | The NCN 61 cycle route Location: , Panshanger Aerodrome (England, United Kingdom) | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 89867 |  | The crossing island is too small for a cycle to stop. You must cross the road in one go | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74068 |  | Subway under Great North Road Hatfield. This could be used to divert NCN12 away from a busy roundabout, but rulled out because the subway is too low to be legally acceptable. Hertfordshire County Council should take the view this is still safer than the roundabout shown in #74069. View from east end #74077. Note that the subway is only a footway, not shared use, hence the white line to define the cycle route. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74077 |  | Subway from Batterdale linking to French Horn Lane cycleroute. This could be used as a better route for NCN12 avoiding the roundabout in #74069 but not allowed as subway is deemed too low. View from other end is in #74068. Note this is footway not cyclepath so cannot be cycled. | Other: Problem general |
| 74180 |  | Start of link through from Mill Green to NCN12/61 via bridleway (see map). Ths path was used by Beatrix Potter when staying locally at Bush Hall with her parents. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |

| 74179 |  | Start of cycle path alongside A414 at end of Gypsy Lane, Welwyn Garden City. Note abuse of cycle path by cars coming off the road over the verge. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 62844 |  | Start of cycle path along east side of Woods Ave, Hatfield. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 35168 |  | Stanborough Park looking west showing the contraflow cycle path along the park entrance slip road. This contraflow path is a crucial link in the Hatfield to Welwyn Garden City cycle path which also connects to Stanborough School. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |

| 31743 |  | South end of Wrestler's Bridge Hatfield on NCN61 looking north. The original bridge here collapsed in 1966. Riders are about to set off on a ride to open a new cycle route in Welwyn Garden City led by Welwyn Hatfield Cycling Forum | Road environment: Event road |
| 74090 |  | Signal at Nast Hyde Halt, Ellenbrook, Hatfield. The signal has a short history of the railway and was erected as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2015 by a local resident who has been restoring the station and keeping the cycle route in immaculate condition. See the station sign in #74089 and also look out for the clock and other signs. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 74078 |  | Sign misdirecting cyclist and pedestrians to go north from Hatfield station to get to the town centre. The town centre is 0.6 miles by walking or cycling in the opposite direction, yet this is only signed South Hatfield! | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 74076 |  | Shared use pavement extending cycle route past Hatfield station and then on to NCN61 at the Red Lion junction, see #74067 and #74075. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |

| 100303 |  | Segregated cycle track running southwards of spiral bridge in need of a little maintenance | Track: Good practice track |
| 74075 |  | Red Lion junction Hatfield showing crossing to the cycle route south from NCN61 to the station, opened November 2015 see #74067. Despite lobbying by local cyclists the island has been constructed to pedestrian only standards requiring cyclists to dismount and creating an unnecessarily difficult crossing for tricycles and tandems. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74054 |  | Queensway, Hatfield, shared use path looking south. Now open and usable, February 2016. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74055 |  | Queensway Hatfield new cycle way approaching town centre #74054 | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 100301 |  | Path was seriously overgrown dangerously restricting viability on the corner, this has recently been cut back and the pavement cleaned up. | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 62841 |  | Oxlease roundabout looking north at end Travellers Lane | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 62842 |  | Oxlease roundabout approaching from the north | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 35176 |  | On road cyclepaths on Queensway Hatfield make this a dangerous roundabout for cyclists. You need to cycle much more out into the road to be safe here. Yet this is close to 3 schools! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 100304 |  | No modal filter from Traveller's Close to Pooley's Lane. This is a useful route towards Welham Green station | Road environment: Problem road |
| 45255 |  | New Wellfield Road cycle path looking east towards Hatfield Fire Station | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |

| 74071 |  | New cycle parking at Hatfield station intalled November 2015 | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 57278 |  | NCN61 looking north showing where cycle route leaves main road to use Park View. | Route sign: Infrastructure routesigns |
| 74074 |  | NCN12 where it joins NCN61 at the north end of Old Hatfield. NCN12 turns right to head north to Welwyn Garden City. Island crossing of road enabling each lane to be crossed separately with clear signs. View going south can be seen in #74073. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 35169 |  | NCN12 Traveller's Lane Hatfield where the route turns off to follow the paths through Oxlease Wood and Streamwoods. (Note map is slighly inaccurate at this point. Photo marker is at the correct location where the cycle path crosses the road.) | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74069 |  | NCN12 leaves Old Hatfield via this busy roundabout on the Great North Road. A much better route would be via the subway from Batterdale see #74068 and #74077. | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74089 |  | Nast Hyde Halt, Alban Way, NCN61, Hatfield. Restored 2015 as part of the 150th anniversay celebrations.

This is a project by a local resident who is keeping this section of the Alban Way in immaculate condition. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 57279 |  | Narrow cyclepath on bridge over A414. Southbound cyclists need to give way, as shown by sign. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 62845 |  | Link to Lark Rise which is a quiet road to Hill Top and the University residences | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 74176 |  | Junction, unsigned, where NCN61 goes left and the cycle path along Black Fan Road to Mundells and Welwyn Garden City town centre carries straight on. The signs are rather unhelpfully at the far left of the photo on the other arm of the triangular junction. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74073 |  | Junction where NCN12 leaves NCN61 and goes south via Old Hatfield. Central island big enough for bikes with clear signs. View in other direction on NCN12 in #74074 | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 35175 |  | Junction on NCN12 where route turns off French Horn Lane to Old Rectory Drive | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 62846 |  | Junction between NCN12, turning right, and cycle route to central Hatfield, straight on | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74072 |  | Hatfield station toucan crossing which allows all ways crossing for pedestrians but not for cyclists, who have to go round the sides following the square in two phases rather than one. An opportunity missed? | Road environment: Problem road |
| 74184 |  | Green line painted in car park to guide cyclists from Gresley Close to College Way, Welwyn Garden City. Very useful when the car park is full. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 63218 |  | Gate on National Cycle Route 12 to stop misuse by motorbikes but which blocks the route for tricycles and disabled buggies. Located at north end of Oxley Wood, Hatfield. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 63219 |  | Gate at south end of Oxley Park, NCN12. Impassable for tricycles and disabled buggies. Difficult for tandems. | Obstruction: Infrastructure obstructions |
| 74066 |  | French Horn Lane Hatfield where NCN12 turns south. Note NCN12 goes onto the road to the left despite the wide island. Cyclists should use the waiting area on road not the island. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 74064 |  | Fore Street and the Eight Bells Pub on NCN12. Old Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Fans of Oliver Twist should note this is believed to be the pub Bill Sykes hides out in after Nancy is murdered. | Other: Misc general |
| 57283 |  | Exit from Knella Road, Welwyn Garden City heading east on NCN61. Cycle path then zigzags into gap in hedge in back ground squeezing past post just visible in background. Difficult if hedge overgrown. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74175 |  | Entrance to obscure bridleway linking NCN12/61 to Mill Green Museum and then the cycle path along the side of the A414. Beatrix Potter walked along this route when staying at Bush Hall and then going to paint the mill, now Mill Green Museum. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 57284 |  | End of cycle route on Queensway, Hatfield, showing link in to toucan crossing. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74070 |  | Double decker cycle parking installed at Hatfield station November 2015. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 74182 |  | Cycleway at Mundells, Welwyn Garden City, showing route via subway to follow if heading for the cycleway along Bessemer Road in both directions. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 42122 |  | Cycle route signs, Hatfield Location: Smallford, St. Albans (England, United Kingdom) The sign to Welwyn Garden City is pointing in the wrong direction. It should be pointing in the opposite direction to the St. Albans sign. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 74181 |  | Cycle path from Mill Green to Gypsy Lane alongside the A414, looking east at Mill Green. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 35177 |  | Cycle path from Hatfield to Colney Heath where it goes under the A1(M). Old but well made. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |

| 74177 |  | Cole Green Way, Welwyn Garden City: The start of the old railway cycle path to Hertford. Watch out for the anti-motorbike device at the gate. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74057 |  | Broken cycle stands outside public library in Hatfield. Over complex design which did not last and impossible to use with small wheeled bikes. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 42123 |  | Bridge over the railway, Hatfield Location: Smallford, St. Albans (England, United Kingdom) | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 98930 |  | Bishops Rise looking north at the start of the 2018 built route along Woods Ave. This turns gets cyclists off the road ahead of the roundabout. | Other: Good practice general |
| 110025 |  | Bike parking at NT Shaw's Corner. Hedge on one side, wheelie bins and parked cars on the other. Very tight to get bikes in and out - situation not ideal. | Other: Problem general |
| 74084 |  | Alban Way NCN61 subway under Cavendish Way, Hatfield. Subway avoids a crossing of a dual carriage way. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |

| 64477 |  | Alban Way at Ellenbrook Lane, Hatfield | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 85809 |  | Access to Welwyn Garden City station is through a shopping centre - awful for cyclists. There's also a footpath on a bridge from the east (where there's cycle parking) - maybe this could be improved to allow cyclists to legally get their bikes to the trains? | Other: Problem general |
| 85808 |  | Access to Welwyn Garden City station is through a shopping centre - awful for cyclists. | Obstruction: Problem obstructions |
| 74178 |  | A414 cycle path at junction with Gypsy Lane, Welwyn Garden City. There is no cycle path along the A414 east of this point. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
